California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.
The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.
Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.
The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

Picture this: someone reaches into your pocket and takes $4,000.
Then does it again tomorrow.
And the day after that.
You’d stop it immediately.
That’s how hard taxpayers are getting hit.
In a Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley put numbers on it.
LexisNexis CEO Haywood Talcove testified fraud can drain up to $1 TRILLION a year — about $115 MILLION every hour.
His words:
“It goes to terrorism, it goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs… and then it’s used to purchase luxury items, cars, purses, homes. That’s all funded by people like me that pay taxes… $115 million an hour.”
That money comes from taxpayers.
From families working to get ahead.
From the next generation inheriting the bill.
This stops now.
Close the loopholes.
Track the money.
Hold people accountable.

Today marks the end of the survivor participation for our rape gang inquiry hearings. I simply have no words that describe the bravery and courage of these women who have come forward.
No words.
What they have been through is indescribable.
It has been a life-changing experience for me. I never thought such evil was possible. Never. Not here, in Britain. In our towns, in our communities. It is pure evil. These men are so utterly depraved.
If it were up to me, thousands of them would receive the death penalty.
To do what they did, on such an industrial scale, to innocent young girls - many of whom were already in such an incredibly vulnerable place? There is no redemption possible. The world is a better place without them in it.
I started this inquiry because so many others failed.
Speaking honestly, I did not understand how deep this evil is rooted in our society.
Police, politicians, council officials, the NHS, social workers, children’s homes - it is everywhere.
IS everywhere. Not was. IS.
Meeting these women, and men, listening to how severely they were failed by those tasked to protect them? My views have changed forever. I knew it was bad. I never knew how bad it was.
Every single one who has come forward is a hero in my view.
The courage and grace in how they have conducted themselves is unlike anything I have seen in my life. All because they don’t want others to suffer the same fate. That is an extraordinary sacrifice. They could have just moved on with their lives. Tried to forget. But no, they chose to do this. I am in awe of all of them.
Our hearings will finish tomorrow, following the contribution of three more expert witnesses.
Then the next stage begins. We will produce a report, and then we will seek to put people in prison. There are FAR more testimonies and evidence to release - this will keep coming and coming and coming.
Even with a media blackout, we have reached tens of millions. We have made real progress.
And following such immense demand, we will reopen the portal so that more women can tell their stories.
This is just the beginning.
Politicians from all parties have failed these girls, again and again and again.
I do not intend to join that list.
To everyone who donated, thank you. To our team, thank you. And especially to the survivors, thank you.
I believe that together we can start to make Britain understand what is happening, and then finally do something about it.

How did California spend $15 billion over 16 years building a train to nowhere? Oh wait…There is no train! They haven’t laid a single track.

🚨🇮🇷 A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT OUT OF IRAN
A young Iranian guy just crossed from Iran into Turkey and recorded a message for the world.
He says people outside Iran have no idea how bad it really is.
Not arrests. Not beatings. Killings.
He says protesters are being shot straight in the chest. Not warning shots. Not accidents. Deliberate.
Over and over.
According to him, the death toll people see online is nowhere close to reality. Bodies disappear.
Families stay quiet. Fear fills the gaps.
People inside can’t speak. People outside aren’t seeing it.
That silence is doing a lot of work right now.

My Venezuela experience as head of trading in the region for Cargill.
Cargill was/is the leading producer of critical staple ingredients such as flour, pasta, vegetable oil, and rice in VZ. I am not saying I agree with grabbing the dictator, but I did have a front row seat to the damage a kleptocracy did to innocent people.
1. The government took over our "minute rice" facility at gunpoint because we were "gouging" the nation's poor. The government was never able to run the plant. It never ran again. It was returned years later with no equipment inside
2. There are 1000's of generals in the army. They are each given a slice of the economy to loot. The large number of generals made it difficult to organize a coup against the regime.
3. The government opened grocery stores and sold staples below the cost we sold them to the government. In theory they used petro oil money to lower grocery prices. Our regular grocery outlets were forced out of business. When the government demanded we sell them products below cost we simply had to shut down. The populous became ever more dependent on the government handouts. (PS this is the mayor of New York City's proposal.
4. Dollars- We needed dollars to go buy raw materials like wheat from places like the US and Canada. The government would periodically allocate us some dollars that could only be spent for raw materials and freight. Eventually only the local companies that can and would pay bribes got dollar allocations. We had several facilities closed for lack of raw material
5. My employees liked working for Cargill. The office was an armed compound with access to a gym, high speed internet, global communications, and a weekly box of basic staples. Cargill provided a safe and secure environment if only for the working hours.
6. Employees became very close to others inside the apartment building. Going out on the street with a desperate population was not advisable.
7. I needed wood pallets for feed. We tried to export wood pallets to swap for grain. We refused to pay the bribes it would take to export the pallets
8. I once tried to set up a closed loop wheat planting to flour mill supply chain. A. They came and stole all the seed wheat for food. When we tried to ship in seed wheat in containers via US donors there was no way to get it out of the port without it being stolen
9. Livestock- Our feed business completely collapsed. Even if you could raise a pig, you couldn't defend it from being stolen. People with guns were hungry.
10. Employees- In the end my highly skilled team alone with other highly educated people chose to leave. Cargill often found jobs for them in other Latin countries. The regime was more than happy to see the well-educated leave the country. Setting these employees up with high quality stable jobs after fleeing remains one of the best things I ever did in my career. No one remembers millions in trading earnings.
This is a short list. In my opinion the first money spent needs to happen now and it needs to be food. The US is already on the clock. The current regime does not care if it starves the population. The orgy of theft will actually accelerate if they believe their days are numbered. VZ should be an outstanding customer of US grown ag products. Rice, bread wheat, veg oil ect. Feed the people first.
